Northern Wattled-Honeyeater

Medium-sized honeyeater recorded at higher elevations in the ranges behind Mackay in central Queensland. Gray overall; underparts slightly paler, with fine streaks on chest difficult to see. Dark cheeks split by a thin white gape mark that wraps back under and behind the bluish eye; also has a faint, narrow neck plume. Call is a series of sharp, frantic-sounding whistles.

Fairly small brown bird, plain pale buffy below and warmer rufous above. Look for the buffy eyebrow and grayer crown. The overall unstreaked buffy color helps separate from other foliage-gleaners and treehunters. Found in foothill and montane forests up to 1800m, where it usually follows mixed flocks through the forest understory. Stays in the lower levels, probing around tangles and leaf clusters.

Ridiculously adorable panda-faced raptor, usually found in extended family groups ranging in size from 4 to 20. Perches on exposed snags, sallying forth to catch prey; capable of taking passerines only slightly smaller than it is. Black above and white below, with a white face and a thick black stripe extending down behind the eye. Flight is fluttery but fast; black barring on the wings and tail is only visible in flight, as is a thick black streak on the armpit, reminiscent of Black-bellied Plover.
